A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 780 - 780

This went on for something like ten-plus minutes.

Over ten minutes later.

She finally crawled up from the sofa, slowly.

By then, the drug had worn off.

Looking at her own naked body, then at Dirk Carter smoking his cigarette, right now she honestly wanted to hack him into a thousand pieces.

But she didn't dare.

After all, Dirk Carter's status was right there.

"So, how does it feel, being a woman again?"

Dirk exhaled a smoke ring as he asked.

"Despicable. I'm going to sue you for drugging me, I'm going to sue you for raping me!"

Penny Sullivan bit her teeth and said angrily.

Dirk burst out laughing and said, "Drugging you? Who can prove it? Just now I didn't even touch you, you climbed onto me yourself. I've got video as proof. Me not suing you for raping me is already me showing mercy."

"So what if I don't like women anymore, I can still help Sis Louisa with a lot of things. She won't throw me away."

Penny said.

Dirk laughed again.

He said, "Penny, oh Penny, when you say that, do you even believe it yourself? With my status, you don't think they'll try to cozy up to me? If I tell them I've got my eye on you, do you think they'll send you to me or not?"

Like being shocked by electricity.

Penny shuddered.

She believed what Dirk said.

Of course she believed it.

In Helios County, in this圈子 she'd been混ing for so many years, could she really still not see that she was just a chess piece in the hands of those people at the top of the power pyramid?

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to fake that "I like women" persona.

Seeing her furrowed brows.

Dirk said, "Miss Penny, if you cooperate with me, you won't lose out. Once you replace Louisa Wagner, you can make a lot more money. When you've saved enough, you can go somewhere where no one knows you, live free and happy the way you want. Wouldn't that be nice? By then, no one will be able to threaten you. Tell me, am I right?"

Dirk's patient coaxing.

Finally moved her.

She took a deep breath, as if she'd made up her mind, looked at Dirk and asked, "How exactly are you planning to get rid of Louisa Wagner?"

"I don't know Louisa Wagner that well. You'll have to tell me everything you know about her, the more the better. Only then can I come up with a strategy to deal with her, right?"

Dirk asked.

Penny shivered.

She asked, "You don't even understand her—how can you guarantee you'll definitely get rid of her? You're not messing with me, are you? You know she's Brett Summers's woman."

Dirk smiled faintly.

He said, "If I can figure out a way to deal with you, naturally I can figure out a way to deal with her."

Those words.

Unknotted the tight frown on Penny's face.

Indeed.

Dirk had grabbed her soft spot with surgical precision, forcing her to submit.

That alone was something others couldn't do.

She paused, then said, "Sis Louisa is thirty-six this year…"

Louisa Wagner, from Linden Town in Helios County.

Born into an intellectual family.

Her father was vice principal at a local middle school, her mother a teacher at another primary school.

In a family like that.

Her parents naturally put a lot of effort into her upbringing.

At three, she'd already started learning ballroom dance.

Back in those days, hardly any girls got to learn dance.

At ten, Louisa suddenly developed an interest in traditional Chinese dance.

Her parents found her a teacher and had her start learning folk dance.

At eighteen, with the top overall score in Helios County, she got into Kenning Academy of Arts.

Everyone assumed that a golden girl raised with conditions like that would have a boundless future.

But no one knew that Louisa had long been sick to death of that life.

From childhood on, it was either studying or dance practice—she never had a life of her own. Her nerves had always been stretched taut.

Going to university.

Was like a caged bird being released back into the wild.

Her top-tier looks and figure quickly drew the attention of a bunch of small-time gangsters.

Under their pestering and courtship.

Louisa, who'd never seen much of the world, was taken down.

From then on, she spent her days hanging around pool halls, video parlors, and arcades, living what she thought was the "happiest" life.

Because she was skipping class all the time.

Louisa was expelled.

At twenty.

Her gangster boyfriend even took her to do drugs.

Later she was caught by the police.

Forced into rehab for six months.

Just like that.

The beautiful future she should have had was basically destroyed by her own hands.

Her parents, out of options, could only bring her back to Helios County and keep her under strict control.

Using her father's connections, they found her a dancing job with the Helios County Song and Dance Troupe.

And that job.

Completely changed her life.

A few years later.

The Helios County Song and Dance Troupe was on the verge of going under.

The troupe leader at the time had no choice but to seek help from society.

At that critical moment, The Zenith Group stepped in and became the troupe's sponsor.

With that.

The interaction between the troupe and The Zenith Group gradually increased.

Already sick of life in the troupe, Louisa one day suddenly noticed her teammates were all becoming flush with cash, so, curious, she asked them in private what was going on.

Her teammate told her.

The money was easy—just have meals and drinks with some bosses and you could get a hefty tip. Those tips were more than months of their dance salary.

Louisa was tempted.

Under her teammate's introduction.

She went out with them a few times.

Because she was beautiful and had a killer figure, she was quickly noticed by several bosses.

Having already been through the wringer, Louisa was naturally more uninhibited than the average woman, so she naturally made even more money.

Later on.

Louisa caught the eye of Brett Summers.

It's said she used a move called "Heavenly Flying Immortal" to completely conquer Brett.

With Brett Summers's protection.

Her status rose with the tide.

Not long after, she became head of the song and dance troupe.

From that point on, the nature of the troupe completely changed.

She started sending the girls from the troupe to the bosses' beds, and she could take a cut off that too.

With Brett Summers's help.

The business just grew and grew.

Later, Louisa became the handler-in-charge of Brett Summers's whole "flesh" business within the group.

Hearing this.

Dirk let out a long breath and said, "Looks like this Louisa Wagner really has some skills."

Penny nodded.

She said, "Sis Louisa is really formidable. Almost every man in front of her turns into a grandson. I've personally seen a very famous big boss here in Helios County kneel on the floor and lick Sis Louisa's feet. That kind of scene, I wouldn't even dare imagine it."

"Lick her feet? Isn't she Brett Summers's woman? Brett doesn't mind?"

Dirk was stunned for a moment and asked.

Penny gave an awkward little laugh.

She said, "How could we possibly let Brother Brett know? No matter what, Sis Louisa is Brother Brett's woman. Whose woman could stand being touched by other men? Let alone The Photosynthesis King…"
